Caccini - Tu ch'hai le penne amore

Harnoncourt writes that Caccini and others, among them the father of Galileo Galilei composed a music around 1600, which contemporary people regarded as more revolutionary than the atonale music of the 20th century. And that their music was the foundation stone for classical music and even a precondition for the opera to develop. Can anyone indicate what made this music so new and crucial for a new epoche of western music?

amazing. (:
i will sing it on my class. :D

Parisotti put there a chord progression which is much nicer than the original instrumentation
D-C7b-G in IN-VI-A
and TE-SO-RO
it is so beautiful that prolonged cadence I want to die...
lol
what an aria!!!!

This is beautiful...

Dear somonly,

Thanks for sharing the translation.

It was awfully nice of you.

Much appreciated!

Mi manita la va a cantar (:

i need this music sheet

The last line of the first stanza is rather "send yourself (=go) with my sighs" -- not much of a difference anyway.

Cecilionaaaaaaaaaa
